Getting historical data from a wheniwork API

I'm retrieving shifts data from wheniwork API
My Python code:
import requests
wheniwork_url = 'https://api.login.wheniwork.com/login'
response = requests.post(
wheniwork_url,
headers = {
"W-Token": '98239akljfqdb3wu97982' #secret_token
"Content-Type": "application/json"},
json={"email": my_wheniwork_email, "password": my_wheniwork_password},
)
final_response = response.json()
token = final_response["token"]
headers = {"W-Token": token, "Content-Type": "application/json"}
users_url = "https://api.wheniwork.com/2/shifts"
res = requests.get(users_url, headers=headers)
output = res.json()
print(output)
I followed wheniwork shifts api documentation to get the shifts data but this is not giving me the historical data.
How/Where can I pass the date parameters in order to get the historical data.
There is start and end date but I'm not sure how to insert start and end date parameters in the API call

Api call using python and token_auth

"""
#Collects basic metrics from Matomo installation and returns a pandas dataframe
"""
token = os.getenv("token")
# Build url string
base_url = 'https://matomo.___.com/index.php?module=API'
site_num = '&idSite=1'
return_format = '&format=json'
period = '&period=day'
date_range = '&date=last30'
method = '&method=VisitsSummary.get'
token_string = "&token_auth=" + token
my_url = base_url + site_num + return_format + period + date_range + method + token_string
# send request for report
r = requests.get(my_url)
# parse and tidy collected data
data = pd.DataFrame(r.json()).T
data = data.reset_index()
data.columns = [
"date",
"uniq_visitors",
"users",
"visits",
"actions",
"visits_converted",
"bounces",
"sum_visit_length",
"max_actions",
"bounce_rate",
"actions_per_visit",
"avg_time_on_site",
]
return data
I am trying to get data from the matomo API using an auth_token and parameters by using above code but i am not able to access it and my url is not taking token code any one has idea how i can solve this

Given that you are using the request library, passing parameters and headers can be done using the following params in your get call:
r = requests.get(my_url, params=payload)
In the same way, an auth token is usually passed within headers:
r = requests.get(my_url, params=payload, headers=headers)
Using this format you can simply create a headers object which contains your token_auth and directly pass your parameters in a payload object:
headers = {'token_auth': token}
payload = {'module':'API', 'idSite':1, 'format':'json', 'period':'day', 'date':'last30', 'method':'VisitsSummary.get'}
Since you are now passing your parameters in you get request, there is no need to add them to the end of your url. Thus, your url should stay as https://matomo.___.com/index.php. These can then be used within your params and headers respectively. Please note that this assumes that the matomo API places the token_auth in its headers such as most APIs do. If this is not the case you could pass it directly within the params payload.
Here is a global overview:
token = os.getenv("token")
# Get url, headers and params
my_url = 'https://matomo.___.com/index.php'
payload = {'module':'API', 'idSite':1, 'format':'json', 'period':'day', 'date':'last30', 'method':'VisitsSummary.get'}
headers = {'token_auth': token}
# send request for report
r = requests.get(my_url, params=payload, headers=headers)
Note this answers your question specifically regarding the API call and not the processing after.

Formated output

I'm making a request in restapi to show application version, but the output i got is not the expected, i want to format this data.
from requests.api import request
from requests.packages.urllib3.exceptions import InsecureRequestWarning
import re
import requests
requests.packages.urllib3.disable_warnings(InsecureRequestWarning)
bipTmb='https://api1-foo'
bipAws='https://api2-foo'
def requestGet(bipTmb, bipAws):
cont = []
for urls in [bipTmb, bipAws]:
url = urls + '/mgmt/tm/sys?$top=4'
headers = {
'accept': '*/*',
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
}
response = requests.get(url, headers=headers, verify=False, auth=('auth', 'pass'))
data = response.json()
data = data['items']
reference = data[0]
version = reference['reference']
find = re.search("ver=.*",format(version))
content = (urls, find.group())
cont.append(content)
return cont
cont = requestGet(bipTmb, bipAws)
for item in cont:
treated_data = (item)
print(treated_data)
output:
[('https://api1-foo', "ver=13.1.3.6'}"), ('https://api2-foo', "ver=13.1.3.6'}")]
Formated output expected:
https://api1-foo ver=13.1.3.6,
https://api2-foo ver=13.1.3.6
How can i transform this data?

Try this.
print "\n".join(treated_data)

I reach the expected output looping through data.
for i in range(len(cont)):
print(cont[i])

How do I save API data into a csv file? Also how do I fix a traceback error?

This is part of my code. It successfully makes an API call and receives the data from the API endpoint. I am trying to save this JSON data into a csv file, but I am not sure how. Also the API data is printed as unicode instead of a string - how do I fix that?
I have tried these lines of code:
Trial 1:
with open('data.json', 'w', encoding = 'utf-8') as file:
json.dump(response, file, ensure_ascii=False, indent=4)
Trial 2:
data = response.text
file_csv = open("File.csv", "w")
writer = csv.writer(file_csv, delimiter = ' ')
for rows in basketball_data.split('\n'):
writer.writerow(rows)
Trial 3:
I tried using Pandas, but that didn't work as well. Any recommendations?
The code below is for fetching the API data which works.
basketball_data = " "
URL = "https://api.sportsdata.io/v3/nba/stats/json/PlayerGameStatsByDate/2020-FEB7" #API
# endpoint
# Dictionary to map HTTP authenticator and API key
Headers = {'Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key': 'd22e84f5c1fa4f4ab47bf1419bd94221', 'accept':
"application/json", 'accept': "text/csv"}
response = requests.get(url = URL , headers = Headers) #get request parameters to
print(response.status_code) #Status code tells us if API call is successful
print(response.json()) #JSON object is returned

Try this:
import pandas as pd
import requests
url = "https://api.sportsdata.io/v3/nba/stats/json/PlayerGameStatsByDate/2020-FEB7"
headers = {
"Ocp-ApimKey": ";wld4221",
"accept": "application/json",
}
data = requests.get(url=url, headers=headers).json()
pd.DataFrame(data).to_csv("basketball_data.csv", index=False)
Output:

Here is one of the solutions given by the pandas documentation:
import requests
import pandas as pd
basketball_data = " "
URL = "https://api.sportsdata.io/v3/nba/stats/json/PlayerGameStatsByDate/2020-FEB7" #API
Headers = {'Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key': 'd22e84f5c1fa4f4ab47bf1419bd94221', 'accept':
"application/json", 'accept': "text/csv"}
response = requests.get(url = URL , headers = Headers) #get request parameters to
print(response.status_code) #Status code tells us if API call is successful
print(response.json()) #JSON object is returned
df = pd.json_normalize(response.json())
df.to_csv("data1.csv")

Problems with sending string array/list through query string

I'm trying to send a string array to the bing translate api, which I have received and encoded as UTF-8.
However, when I make the call with the variable the service spits out an error:
"There was an error deserializing the object of type System.String[]. Encountered unexpected character 'ï'."
If I manually add the string array as a string not within a variable, it works. I'm using the Requests module, so I'm thinking it's encoding the url... I have no idea.
class getLanguages(apiFunctions):
def GET(self):
#get the access token
data = self.accessToken()
token = data['access_token']
codes = self.getCodes(token)
languageNames = self.getLanguageNames(token,codes)
codesList = ast.literal_eval(codes)
return languageNames + codes
def getCodes(self,token):
url = 'http://api.microsofttranslator.com/V2/Ajax.svc/GetLanguagesForTranslate'
auth_header = {'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + token}
r = requests.get(url, headers=auth_header)
return r.text.encode('utf-8')
def getLanguageNames(self,token,codes):
url = 'http://api.microsofttranslator.com/V2/Ajax.svc/GetLanguageNames'
#this is where I add the language codes string to the query
payload = {'locale': 'en', 'languageCodes': codes}
auth_header = {'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + token}
r = requests.post(url, params=payload, headers=auth_header)
return r.text.encode('utf-8')
And this is the string:
["ar","bg","ca","zh-CHS","zh-CHT","cs","da","nl","en","et","fi","fr","de","el","ht","he","hi","mww","hu","id","it","ja","tlh","tlh-Qaak","ko","lv","lt","ms","mt","no","fa","pl","pt","ro","ru","sk","sl","es","sv","th","tr","uk","ur","vi","cy"]
